The Doctors Look Well.

Washington Special.
The doctors remarkably fne-looking set
of men-there is mistaking the fact They
unite in their physical selves the appearance of
robust. well-euarded health. and also high in
telgence and intellectually. They moreover
give the impression of amiability. There is
kindly look in their eyes. They appear emil
nenty cheerful not to say jolly. AS the
spondent goes home from his work at IL IL
o'clock at night h. perceives numerous groups
OF these visiting doctors in the hotels, chatting
and laughing together, smoking, imbibing light
beverages now and then. and consuming the
midnight gas-in other words, tampering with
the laws of health. very much their patients
are in the habit OF doing-and he is thus led to
recognize the great truth thai there is consider
able human nature in mankind, including its
wisest and best specimens Many of the doctors
have brought their wives and children with
them, which makes the picture ali the more
pleasing. The foreign element in the gathering
adds to it's picturesqueness; and altogether it
may be doubted whether a notable as
semb,age, in appearance at least, convened
in this country than that which was called to
order at Alhaugh's Opera house.

The Humphreys Court Martial.

THE SENTENCE OF THE COURT RENTED BY THs
DIVISION COMMANDER.
The court martial which tried First Lieutenant
Humphreys, OF 3rd artillery, for disobedience OF
orders, in failing to remove his children from the
ice pond at the Washington barracks found him
guilty and sentenced him to be repr1manded In
orders by the reviewing authority and to be con-
fined to the limits OF the post, where his battery
may be serving, for the period OF thirty days,
Major General SchOfield RENTS this sentence
and in ordering the release OF Lieut. Humphreys
says: "It is the opinion OF the division commander
that this case is one which could have been
properly disposed Of by the commanding officer,
and that IL was not OF such gravity as to neces-i
state the preferring OF formal charges for the
action OF general court martial. This would ap-
pear from the sentence imposed, to be the opinion
of the court"
With reference to Lieut.. Humphreys, Gen.
SchOfeld says: "Wh1le there may be ground for q
reasonable doubt, whether or not Lieut.. Hum
phreys was guilty OF disObedence OF orders, he
was clearly guilty OF neglect Of duty, In that he
failed to promptly cause to be obeyed by members
OF his family, an order from his commanding
officer applicable to them. Prompt enforcement
by heads OF families OF post orders concerning
those under their control is indispensable for the
good order Of a military post and is one OF the
conditions upon which persons not in the army
are permitted to reside within the limits of the
